All ipod music missing but still can be seen in iTunes

HELP!
Equipment: iPod 60GB Photo running Windows XP (SP2) platform via USB
I'm a first time user experiencing update problems. I've already loaded 7,000 twice via auto-sync then manually the second time. The first time I my music disappeared I bit the bullet, reformatted and started again. All seemed to be fine albeit that docking and undocking seem take a lot of time - especially undocking which does not behave consistently.
Yesterday I installed iTrip and loaded the stations onto the ipod. Now all music and the stations do not show on the ipod. However when I dock the ipod iTunes shows everything. I checked About on the ipod which shows zero songs but the availabe capacity is 27.4GB so I'm sure everything is there.
HELP HELP I really don't want to re-load again. This is driving me crazy. I need this for our wedding in 3 weeks and I'm getting really nervous about whether I can trust this unit.
What can I do?

Not knowing what to do next, I deleted one of my app and reinstalled from ipodtouch, then just tried to make it work. And mysteriously all the apps started to work again.
It beats me. How the whole ipod came back to work normally.
The only thing that was noticeable was my wifi was always on. What got in and what went out -- a miracle. without erasing anything and losing my data in any of the apps.
Does running antivirus scan when the ipod is connected to the comp cause mysteries?
